OpenAI's Tibo Says Dots Will Expand Its Model Family to Include GPT-6.1 Terra for Speed and Wider Reach
At 15:50 UTC on Nov 2, Tibo (@thsottiaux), whose X bio reads "Codex & ChatGPT @OpenAI", posted that OpenAI is working on expanding the family of frontier models that power dots, including GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Terra, with others to come. He said Terra brings speed and "a nice personality upgrade" and will help bring dots to more people. Dots are the always-on agents in ChatGPT with their own cloud computer, launched on GPT-6 Astra.

OpenAI Introduces LifeVal, a Benchmark for Everyday Life Tasks Built From Time-Use Studies and a 3,995-Person Survey
On November 2 OpenAI published LifeVal, an evaluation of whether AI can actually get everyday tasks done for ordinary people, such as finding childcare, accessing government services, budgeting, ordering groceries and adapting recipes. The task list draws on the American Time Use Survey, the Multinational Time Use Study and a new demographically representative OpenAI survey of 3,995 people. OpenAI says it has used LifeVal for the past year to track and improve its models, and it lists several best recorded GPT-6 Astra task scores, many at 100%. All scores are vendor-reported and have not been independently reproduced.
